I'm happy to be exhibiting with watercolorist Beatrice Bork once again in Under the Same Sky, a show of our nature-inspired paintings.

While Beatrice paints the "who" — the birds and animals of our forests, I paint the "where" — woodland paths, mountain streams, and expansive skies.

Footsteps - Journeys Near and Far

"Footsteps - Journeys Near & Far"
a 2-person show with Joe Kazimierczyk and Ilya Raskin
at Artists' Gallery in Lambertville, NJ

July 10 - August 3, 2025
Opening Reception: Saturday, July 12, 5-7 pm

This year I'm teaming up with photographer Ilya Raskin in "Footsteps - Journeys Near and Far".

Ilya is a world traveler whose photography captures the drama and grace of life around the globe, from landscapes and wildlife to the people who inhabit some of the most awe-inspiring places on Earth. 

My own work brings the focus closer to home. I continue to find inspiration in the parks and preserves of northern New Jersey, painting quiet forests, waterfalls, and winding trails where the familiar still offers surprise.

 This show is all about the paths we take and the beauty we find along the way. Whether it's the far reaches of the Arctic or a sunlit stream just a few miles from home, every journey is an adventure.

Harmony Brookside Solo Show

From May 6 through June 28 I'll be exhibiting my landscape paintings in a solo show at Harmony Brookside Gift Shop & Gallery, a new venue for me in Mendham, NJ. The exhibition includes a range of subject matter from quiet farm scenes to the mountains of north Jersey.

Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10:30am to 5pm. More details can be found at harmonybrookside.com. 

 

I hope you’ll stop in and have a look. It’s a welcoming space, and I’m glad to be part of this season’s exhibition schedule.

When you're in the area, there are some good hiking options nearby - Jockey Hollow (great for history buffs), Lewis Morris Park (a bit more rugged than Jockey Hollow), and Dismal Harmony Natural Area (don't be fooled by that name).

Harmony Brookside Gifts & Gallery is located at 2 East Main Street, Brookside, (Mendham Township), NJ 07926, right next to the Brookside Post Office.

The Tulpehaking Nature Center is one of the main entrances to the Abbott Marshlands, and you should explore the trails when you come to see our show - Beatrice tells me it's a good place for bird watching. The marsh is rich in wildlife and Native American history, and the name "Tulpehaking" means "Land of the Turtle" in the language of the Lenape.

For me, this location has a personal connection - as a kid, I used to play down here and I remember fishing in the lake with my father. Back then, we called it White City Lake. If you grew up in the area, you might remember that name too. While none of my paintings in the show depict the Abbott Marshlands specifically, many of them focus on water-themed scenes like rivers and lakes.

We hope you can stop by, see the show, and explore a bit!
